Bradford HERITAGE IN STONE, Undercliffe Cemetery, Bradford

Today I took a short walk around the part of the Undercliffe Cemetery that contains some very impressive Victorian funerary monuments in a variety of styles.

Its was a gloomy morning and the light was low.

Hope you enjoy the walk with me.

Undercliffe Cemetery is grade II* listed by English Heritage in their Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England

The cemetery is at a height of 210 m above sea level with an area of 26 acres (10 hectares) accommodating some 124,000 burials and about 23,000 marked graves.[2][3][6][8] A major feature of the cemetery is the long east west promenade with the western end having excellent views over Bradford.[2] Also at the western end is a small bandstand.[2] At the historic core the land to the north of the promenade is terraced down to the northern entrance on Otley Road. Both entrances have a car park but only the south entrance on Undercliffe Lane has a lodge used for administration.
